Two new species and two morphological variant taxa of sessile rotifers found during a survey of Thai rotifers are reported upon. Living specimens were collected and identified from twelve sampling sites. The specimens were photographed, and prepared for SEMs of dorsal plates and trophi. Two new species of genus are recognized. possesses a corona with a relatively shallow ventral sinus, and a dorsal plate without any projection, whereas carries a corona with a deep and wide ventral sinus, and a dorsal plate with nine projections. Two morphological variants of are discussed, which are designated as SH and LH on the basis of the length of the horns on their dorsal plates. Moreover, both a dichotomous key and a formula key are provide including all species known to date.

Members of the genus are responsible for many important diseases in agricultural and natural ecosystems. causes devastating diseases of oak, and tanoak stands in US forests and larch in the UK. The four evolutionary lineages involved express different virulence phenotypes on plant hosts, and characterization of gene content is foundational to understanding the basis for these differences.

An obligately anaerobic, spore-forming sulphate-reducing bacterium, strain SB140, was isolated from a long-term continuous enrichment culture that was inoculated with peat soil from an acidic fen. Cells were immotile, slightly curved rods that stained Gram-negative. The optimum temperature for growth was 28 °C.

A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped strain, designated SPB1-3, was isolated from tree bark. This strain exhibited heterofermentative production of dl-lactic acid from glucose. Optimal growth was observed at 25-40 °C, pH 4.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as HZG-20, was isolated from a tidal flat in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, China. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities between strain HZG-20 and RR4-56, NNCM2, P31 and X9-2-2 were 98.9, 91.
